LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas Thursday night, the Little Rock School District Board of Directors agreed to reinstate COVID leave for teachers. The group also agreed to create a new incentive to encourage more employees to get vaccinated.
The COVID leave was reinstated after teachers got an e-mail earlier this month informing them that employees sick with the virus would no longer receive paid time off.
